In searching around for i2c based modules that may be of interest and suitable for connection to the PICAXE microcontrollers, I found Devatech Ltd who are manufacturers of many of the modules sold by Rev-Ed and their distributors plus BASIC STAMP agents.
Of interest was that some modules such as the ultrasonic modules are available in both i2c comms as well as the discrete I/O connection modes typically sold by the microcontroller retail sellers. I do note that at least in Australia, in some cases, the i2c parts are far more expensive than the discrete I/O interfaced parts but there other advantages.
For those in the UK/Europe have a look at http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/
For those in Australia have a look at http://www.robotparts.com.au/
Have any others here had any dealings with the above companies and in particular Robot Parts in Australia?
I would be interested to know what (other than EEPROM’s and RTC’s) are others connecting to their i2c bus in the way of sensing and interface modules.
